A top Congressional Democrat said Tuesday he thinks active duty troops should take a pay cut alongside their civilian DoD counterparts. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md. said in a press release that while he favors a freeze on troop pay, he would exempt those deployed to combat zones. Full Story.
Here’s my opinion: I think congressmen should take a drastic cut in pay. They, unlike our military, seem to have a difficult time upholding the mandates of their offices. Therefoe, their pay should be performance based. Military members should get an increase in pay, not a cut in pay.
